3.2-3.3ish at CLS w/ secondary journal, have screeners at Simpson (NY), Gibson (LA), and Irell (LA). Do I have a shot, or will this be a huge waste of time. Should I try something really different at the interview, just to see if I can get a callback?

No, his chance at STB is still decent. Median students at Cornell can get into STB in the last two years.

CB avg for STB at Cornell was top 20% grades. Just because a few median kids get in doesn't mean his chances are "decent"

This. I started to post something similar, but I only have Cornell's Paul Weiss and Skadden data to infer Cornell's placement from (which, although different firms, does not even get close to supporting any sort of "median placement" argument). Regardless, saying that Cornell can get STB from median hardly means that median at Cornell has even close to a good chance. Decent trolling attempt, regardless.

Same thing at NU. Simpson and Sullivan have called back and presumably offered (since they have a high callback -> offer rate) median people the last couple of years, but that doesn't mean you don't need to be top 1/4 to have a "good chance." Obviously I don't know what it's like at Columbia.
